The lease was coming up on my E350 and since Mercedes was offering some really aggressive deals on the 09's I figured I'd see what they could do.

I test drove a ton of cars...from 911's to M3's to various AMG models, pretty much anything that floated my boat and finally decided upon this.



It's a 2009 S550 with the AMG package (meaning looks like an S63, but without the engine or pricetag!).

It's a special "Drive for the cure" edition for cancer, so MB donates $10k to cancer research, which my wife is a fan of.

Here's the interior shots.





I ended up getting about $19k off the sticker price, but I know it's still a lot of money, but hey you only live once.

I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, and as various friends have pointed out, I'm not the typical S class buyer since I'm not 60 y/o (hell, I'm not even 40) but it is pretty darn quick for such a big car. I'm quite pleased with it so far, but learning what all the buttons do and how change certain things takes a little getting used to, but the "idrive" type system is this is far easier than BMW's, IMO.

I it. It looks really nice!

 

Nice car! Classy indeed man. More pics please!

My wife was close to getting a MB and opted for this instead.

 

Thanks!

I love the XF test drove the supercharged one a couple months ago and was very impressed with everything about it, they did a great job on that car.

 

 

You can't go wrong. All of the super saloons are wonderful cars to have. It's a beautiful car and use it in good health!

 

Nice car!
I LOVE the new S class. I also heard Mercedes is offering some great deals on their more expensive line ups.
If I had a pocket that deep and needed a lux DD, I'd either get the S-class or the Audi S8. Or the new Jag XJ that's supposed to come out soon.

I had a deal for 17 k off of an e350 (white of course) but we went to think about it and when we called back it was sold.
